Haliburton Scout Reserve Camp
Haliburton Scout Reserve Camp
Haliburton Scout Reserve (HSR) is Canada's largest Scout camp and one of the oldest in the country, having operated since 1947.
Spanning nearly 5,000 acres of Canadian Shield in the Haliburton Highlands of Central Ontario, the reserve sits just south of Algonquin Park and is centered on Kennabi Lake, where 22 or more waterfront campsites are accessible by canoe.
Groups — primarily Scout troops — typically book week-long stays, arriving self-contained at their assigned site. The reserve's extensive waterways include 18 lakes, rivers, streams, and marshes supporting diverse wildlife.
Available programs include rappelling, rock climbing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, archery, riflery, snorkelling, paddleboarding, and wilderness survival activities, all guided by on-site instructors.
The camp is also used by partner organizations such as Girl Guides of Canada and Outward Bound Canada.
